Microbryum is a small, robust moss typically found in mineral-rich, rocky soils, often thriving in harsh, exposed environments such as urban settings and disturbed ground. Its minute leaves are closely appressed when dry, expanding significantly in moisture. The plant's habitat and compact form assist in conserving water, crucial for survival in its typically arid locales.
Propagation:
The main propagation method for microbryum is via spores. Successful growth requires consistent moisture, indirect light, and a substrate like peat. High humidity is crucial, often necessitating a terrarium. Challenges include contamination and desiccation. Distribute spores on moist substrate, cover, and maintain patience during slow growth.
